2019 Calendar ~ Cats Protection Wellington

Although not as well known as larger organisations like the SPCA, Cats Protection Wellington (CPW) also cares for and helps cats to find their forever homes. All CPW’s cats have been desexed and vet checked before leaving the shelter.

If you are looking for a furry companion, please visit CPW’s website to give you an idea of all the lovely furry boys and girls the shelter has for adoption right now. But, if this is not the right time for you to adopt a cat, perhaps you could consider sponsoring one. CPW has a sponsor program for some of its high needs cats that are difficult to home due to medical or behavioural problems. I’ve had a number of adopted and sponsored kitties from CPW, and at the moment am fostering an adorable 17 year old Egyptian Mau: Xerxes.

You can find below a slideshow of the calendar’s monthly images, starting with the cover image of the gorgeous Daisy. This year the calendar features a centre spread providing an update on all the 2018 calendar cats – one year on.

A way to help this small organisation would be to purchase a calendar, and it makes a great Christmas present. You can order a calendar online.

As with the past few years, all the 2019 images were taken at CPW’s shelter in Kingston. Richard, Michele, Bex and Delwyn came up with the messages on each page. And the photographs couldn’t have been taken without the help of Bex, Reece, Katrina and Lorraine, who spent lots of time with me and the cats so I could get just the right pic. Thanks to them and of course thanks to all the cats who were wonderful models!
